Quick Quail Egg Pork Giniling

Quail eggs are a staple in Asian dishes and this simple Filipino comfort dish makes liberal use of hard boiled quail eggs. While fresh quail eggs may be harder to find in the States, hard boiled canned quail eggs in water can be substituted (link below). Either way, we are sure you’ll be pleased with this easy to make recipe that you can brown bag for work the next day, or two. Serve with white rice.

Instructions

If you are using fresh quail eggs, bring 6 cups of water to a boil, then boil quail eggs for 15 minutes. Let run under cold water to cool. Peel eggs and set aside. If using canned quail eggs, drain water and set aside.

Heat 2 tbsp spoon of butter in a large skillet or pot until simmering, then add chopped onions and sauté on medium-high heat until translucent.

Add the ground pork and continue sautéing until browned, about 8 minutes. You may drain off excess rendered fat.
